...Globe.ON Tuesday Boston gladly welcomed back her old favorite at this theatre. She is as charming as ever, and in better voice. Her troupe, with the exception of the celebrated M. Duschene, are mostly new to Boston. M. Juteau and Mlle. Roland have already become established favorites...
...Time holds the microscope to their defects, and lays bare the selfish motives and small machinery by which their policy has been made active and for a time, successful. Your politic man is a curiosity; it is as curious to watch his manoeuvres as it is to observe the ever-changing forms and colors of the kaleidoscope or to note the webbings in a piece of lace.

Yet he goes away into some country place, and, as he gets out of his old ruts and among people where his superiority is in some respects tacitly acknowledged, you shall observe, even in him, the universal Jim-Fisk showing symptoms of his presence. He has a friend teaching school in this same country town, upon whom he calls. See him when, before he enters in front of the assembled school, he stops and furtively brushes his beaver, and dusts...
